Hi everyone,

There are two websites containing Django documentation:

- [docs.djangoproject.com](http://docs.djangoproject.com)
- [django.readthedocs.io](http://django.readthedocs.io)

Which one should I use?

They’re essentially the same content. My understanding is that the readthedocs version is generated from the official docs, just using different styling. (Well, that and the readthedocs version also makes the full documentation available as a download as pdf or epub.)
